Santa’s Guide for Tracking Santa

Tracking Santa around the world on Christmas Eve is a very old tradition. For ages children all over the world have wondered where Santa was, what he was doing and just when he would get to their house. That is what tracking Santa is all about.

As the world has grown and technology has advance there has become available more information than ever to aid a Santa fan in tracking Santa. The problem with so much information is how to organize and how to know which of it is genuine. That is why Santa publishes his own websites and gives this direction for tracking Santa.

Santa offers five steps to properly tracking Santa.

#1 — Get prepared.

A good Santa tracker will not rely on anyone’s map but their own. You will need to follow many sources of news and information (listed below). Then you will need to mark Santa’s location on a map. Santa suggests you invest in a large wall map of the world, available in most places for less than $5. Yes, there are maps online and Santa offers his own too but having a large map that you can use a marker or even yarn on to fill out Santa’s path makes it an activity everyone in the house can enjoy together. Santa encourages tracking Santa in groups or in families.
